A DRESS FOR GEORGE

Description

This is one of the first projects in my attempt to learn how to sew. George is a good friend who happens to be a perfect size 12 in this pattern. How lucky was I to make a dress for her that didn’t need any alterations. In return, George took me out for lunch so she could wear her new dress. I think it suited her perfectly. The pattern is burda 8319, easy. I have an excellent and patient teacher who helped me and also owns the shop where I purchased the fabric http://www.lisasdesignerfabric.com.au/ on the Gold Coast. This site inspires me enormously. I love how people will upload the simplist of creations with as much enthusiasm as the likes of the more advanced and humble sewers in this group, which I am sure we all know who they are. Thank you to everyone for helping me with my new adventure in life.

The dress turned out fabulous. I bet your friend George loved it-as it really suits her. The color is great with her coloring and the cut of the dress is very classy and professional looking. Great job!

Thank you Tiffany. I guess I was lucky it worked so easily for George. The colour no doubt varies with people’s computer screens but it is a gorgeous green. This is my favourite project so far. I watch your site with great enthusiasm. So many clever sewers on this site.

Thank you schnui, and Amanda is my very patient teacher. I too love her fabrics and Amanda is always ready and willing to help with ideas of what to make. I’m so lucky I stumbled on this shop and the friendships of Amanda and Rhonda. Maybe we might meet one day.
